Amazon.com Product Description

Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace is the first Spider-Man game to be featured on the Game Boy Advance platform. Set in New York, the game lets you assume the role of Spider-Man as you take on supervillain Mysterio and his illusory tricks. You must fight a slew of Mysterio's sinister conspirators and gadgetry to get to the bottom of the plot and free New York from Mysterio's mind-warping grip. Special attacks, multiple power-ups, suit upgrades, and old Spidey standbys (like wall crawling and webslinging) make playing as Spider-Man a fan's dream come true. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars This game was fantasctic
I got this game and it was great. But for people that are reading this who have a nintendo ds, listen up. If you put in the ds version of spiderman 2 while game boy advance wirsion of Mysterio's menace is in aswell, you will be able to unlock all of spidey's moves.

5-0 out of 5 stars Spiderman Mysterio's Menace great game I recommend
Vicarious Visions and Activision , the greatgame companies who made Spiderman for thePlaystation and Dreamcast, once again teamup to make the successful "Spiderman Mysterio's
Menace" for the Gameboy Advance.

Out of all the portable consoles in history,the Gameboy Advance, has probably the bestlineup of games I've seen, and you can addthis game to that list.

------
Story
------

Peter Parker (Spiderman) is talking to hisgreat love Mary Jane, when he sees on the tv,that a great number of crimes are beingcommitted in New York.

Spiderman then must try to stop the criminalsand try to bring peace and safety toNew York City.Spiderman though will have his hands, as hemust fight a number of formidabble and familiarenemies that Spiderman fans will recognizne.
The lineup of enemies include "HammerHead", "Rhino", "Mysterio", and a gang machine gun happy gangsters and deadly ninjas.

Even making the game that more challengingis the fact that in several areas of the gameSpiderman must rescue a group of hostages.

Graphics 10:

Spiderman games have come a long way sincethe first Spiderman came out from ParkerBrothers for the Atari Systems.

From the Genesis system to Supernes, to Gameboy
Color, to the Gameboy Advance, to the Playstation, each Spiderman has constantlygotten better in the area of graphics.
The graphics in this game are gorgeous, wonderful 2d and 3d graphics are echoed throughout the game.

"Rhino", "Hammerhead" and others look likecomic book counterparts.There are really 3 great graphics area in the game, and they are done very well.First is the intro of the game which is excellently done with a nice blend of music.the intro looks extremely cool, because it looksvirtually an animation of the comic book.

The 2nd graphics area is stats screen. Thestats screen reveals in what area Spiderman is,how much webbing Spiderman has left, and otherdetails.

The 3rd area in the game are the missionand intermission screens.These scenes are all 2 dimensionally animated
in true color form and they look gorgeous on the screen.
Overall, I was not only suprised by the great
graphics for the game, but I was impressed.

Sound and Music: 7

The sound and music in Spiderman, just likethe graphics for the game are extremely good,in fact it was better than I expected!!!

Everything from Spiderman's "spider senses" to"Rhino" growl and killer attacks, all comewith their individual sounds.

Overall the sound in "Spiderman MysteriosMenace " is very well done.

The music is divided into different areas ofgame: The levels of the game, come with different tunes and soundtracks.

The stat screen in the game also comeswith it's own music.

The best music in the game, that I loved wasthe intro at the beginning, it mean it just really cool!! In fact, it had me jazzed upto play the game.

--------------
Control 7
------------

I was extremely satisfied with the controlsfor this game.

Unlike the Playstation and Dreamcast versions of Spiderman, which can get a bit frustratingthe control for "Spiderman Mysterio's Menace"is virtually perfect.

Wow!!!

Spiderman has a variety of moves, combos and
special abilities that can you do.

First is Spiderman's web slinging.

Simply by tapping the A button twice, Spidermancan swing from building to building with ease.You can also websling and attack enemies atthe same time!!!

This has many advantages of the game, asmany enemies are at angles, or high altitudesin the game.

Spiderman's combos, consists of a regular punch,
a superpunch, and a great uppercut. You also have a regular kicking, a sweeping kickand a great jump kick (which can you doas you are webslinging!!!!)

Pressing the Start Button reveals the statsscreen which reveals, the area Spiderman is, along with his web supply, the areas Spidermanhas completed, and the number of hostages
Spiderman has rescued.

Overall, I was very pleased with the controls.Activision and Vicarious Visions did a greatjob in this area.

-----------
Overall 9
------------

I gave "Spiderman Mysterio's Menace" a 10 because virtually all areas of the gamewere excellent done.

Activision has continually improved the Spiderman games that they done have done over years.There are also many challenging enemies in the game. I also like the fact, that game companies
included many of Spiderman's foes like"Hammerhead", "Mysterio", and "Rhino".

"Spiderman Mysterio's Menace" is just a greatgame, and I highly recommend the game toany Spiderman fan.

4-0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!
This game is one of the best I've ever played.The gameplay is great, the graphics are amazing, and it is a game you can just pick up and play.The only thing I disliked was that I beat the whole game (and got all the power-ups) in less than 4 hours.

5-0 out of 5 stars THIS THING ROCKS !!!
Who would have thunk that this game would actually be successful? When i first bought this game, i thought that it was another game for my GBA. Everything is mind blowing, and i luv it!There is only one con: I thought that this game would be much longer. Due to the rising pile of homework, it took me 2 weeks to finish this thing. But if it was the summer vaca(tion), it would take me merely two days. I have to admit that this game did make up for its short playing time. The only problem is that i got all the powerups except one. I would highly recommend this game for kids ages 10 and under.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As SpiderMan: the movie
My previous review on this was titled,HERE'S SPIDEY! It said that it is very fun n' stuff, but after I played Spiderman: the movie, on the PC, I discovered that I was very, very wrong.This game is 2D, while the other game is MUCH more relistic, and is 3D.The other one is based on the movie, while this is not. I can't get too upset about the sound, because this game is for Gameboy Advance, while I played the movie-based one on the PC, but, the sounds are VERY repeditive. ... Read more

This game's hard.You unlock characters but there's a lot of characters who arn't in the game.The Toa arn't in this game.Takua the Chronicler isn't in this game.Neither is Hahli, Kapura, Nuparu, Tamaru, or Kotu.I'd get the other Lego Bionicle game for Game Boy Advance instead of this one.

4-0 out of 5 stars It's alright...
I used to be a total die-hard Bionicle fan, but I'm not that obsessed with it anymore. I guess that's one of the reasons I gave it 2 stars. This game is pretty good, it's the ending that's shocking. You've just finished this extremely hard game, and what do you get at the end? Six Bionicle guys dancing and the words "Game Over". Oh my gosh, that is unbeliveably exciting...NOT!
You also have a VERY short life. You are always dying. (...).
Good game to get if you are a gigantic Bionicle nut. Otherwise, nice graphics, good music(but it's even better if you put on headphones)but if I had to play either this or Spyro 2: Season of Flame, I would choose Spyro. Oh well. But anyway, in other words, slightly amusing, mostly boring, a little pointless.

5-0 out of 5 stars This Game rocks!!

E.T. is a good game, but sometimes it can be a little frustrating. Its good that it has a saving mode. I recommend it.

1-0 out of 5 stars too hard
I wish I knew about these reviews before I bought this game.SImply put, its too hard.Ilove E.T., but this game is not worth it but another one.

3-0 out of 5 stars need help
Iam also stuck in level 4 and haven't been able to find my way out so my game is sitting in the case also.would like to see a stradegy guide with a few hints in it

3-0 out of 5 stars To hard to Play
I agree with the others, this game is very hard to play, more detailed instructions and maybe a map of the forest would help with the 1st 2 levels. Myself and my boys have struggled with this game.Needless to say it spends most of its time in its case.

This is a fun game full of addicting mini games.You can play on easy, medium, or hard mode.There are action games, puzzles, mazes, and games that require strategy.Instead of saving your game, you can simply use a code given each time you beat a game to get back to where you were.Most of the time, you play as Eliza; but you also get to play as Debbie, and Darwin, and even drive the comvee!

I would recommend this game.

4-0 out of 5 stars The Wild Thornberry's Movie
This game is so cool.I have only played it once, and already I would like to purchase it.It has coloring, puzzling, and even adventures.The only time that I ave played was when I was going to a DNA lab, and I had my GBA, with a not-so-fun game, so somebody let me play The Wild Thornberry's Movie Game, and now I would like to purchase it, once again to say that.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Game
I got this 2 months ago the object is to save the animals from the poachers you need to play 12 levels of action kinda neat in it you need to save animals the main menu is neat it has these 3 choices they are Game Settings Options: Sound FX (Donnie)Music (Boko)difficulty (gorilla) Load Game (Shaman) and New Game Options: Path A (Mini-Games) Path B (Story Mode) Path C (multi-Player Games) there are control Cheat Codes For Example press the A button to swing the elephants trunk the mini-games and multi-player games are especially great all though it would be better to play the multi-player games if I had a GBA link Cable

Monster Force is a fast-paced action game that reintroduces thebest-known monsters in the history of movies to a new generation of video gameplayers. Players can choose between younger versions of Frankenstein, Dracula,and Wolfman, all designed with Japanese anime flair. With more then 35 levelsand five playable characters, Monster Force is fun and deep.

Back in the days of mobs and torches, monsters had a hard time fitting in. Tomake things easier, the brothers Frankenstein moved, along with theircreations, to a new land where monsters could live in peace. Thus, Monsterlandwas born. Now one of the brothers has gone missing and Monsterland is beingoverrun by evil. It is up to an unlikely group of heroes to step up and savethe day for monsters everywhere. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent graphics, built in saved games, good action
The graphics for Monster Force are really nice.The status screens and the screens b/n levels have these animated backgrounds that look like hand drawn (in pencil) animation fading in and out (like the AHA video for you old timers).

The gameplay itself is fairly straight forward although there are a number of tools that can be picked up or "purchased" in between levels.These include weapons, health, magnets that attract "atoms" (the things that the baddies provide when they die), etc.

You can choose between drac, frank, or wolfie and as expected each has different attributes (speed/power/strength).Unlike Super Mario Bros. you cannot switch between characters mid-level.

As an occasional gamer (and a generally old dude) I wasn't as fond of this title's gameplay although I can clearly see the appeal for the everyday gamer. The gameplay was somewhat repetative and required more quickness on the game pad than logic (told you I was an old dude :->).

One distinct rarity for a non-nintendo produced title is the built-in game saving feature which in itself is reason enough to buy this title: to prove to the manufactures that we would rather not have to scribble down long tedious codes on little scraps of paper. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Rayman Advance is perhaps the first must-play Game BoyAdvance game available. It's a full conversion of the PlayStationclassic brought to life in vivid detail with level-by-leveloptimizations; gorgeous graphics; large, detailed, well-animatedcharacters; and that patented Rayman gameplay Ubi Soft has beendelivering for years now.

Those unfamiliar with the character and story should expect yet anothercute take on the 2-D side-scrolling adventure game, but Rayman easilystands alongside Mario in terms of brilliance. Rayman, a cute,big-nosed guy with pompadour bangs and an infectiously upbeat attitude, isthe Guardian of the World. Oddly, he has hands and feet but no arms orlegs to support them. That doesn't stop him from doing his thing,however. His powers include jumping, clinging to ledges, using his earsas a helicopter, and, most importantly, punching. A helpful fairy dolesout these powers to you as you complete tasks and progress in the game.Rayman's task, as usual, is to defeat enemies and free creatures(called Toons) caught in great iron boxes. Also, Rayman collects"tings," which he can use to barter with magicians as he rids hisbizarre little world of oppression from the likes of colorful bossesMoskito and big, bad Space Mama.

The most striking features of Rayman Advance are its graphicsand gameplay. The design is extremely creative; there are tons ofthings to bounce on, ride, and grab, and plenty of other tricks to do.It's the sort of game that always has you doing something new, which isno mean feat considering it spans 60 levels. Rayman is a first-rate 2-Dplatform game for all ages. Hey, pardon the pun, but, well, everyoneloves Rayman. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

  • Charming yet sophisticated platform action
  • Creative level design throughout
  • Beautiful graphics
Cons:
  • The music is pretty bland

5-0 out of 5 stars A GREAT Game for ALL AGES W/ GREAT GRAPHICS
Rayman Advance is an amazing game for gba. Gameplay can be very difficult at times ( a good thing) and it takes a considereable amount of time to beat it. Stunning graphics are placed throughout the game and make it a lot more enjoyable. Plus, you get fun powers, bosses that aren't THAT hard, puzzles, mini games, and a great ending. To note on the ending, unlike many reviews, you CAN defeat the main boss. The VERY last level is challenging and loads of fun!!!! i reccomend this game to anyone!!!!!!!! IT IS WORTH BUYING!

3-0 out of 5 stars cute
rayman 3 is so much better than this pathetic exuse for a game. the music is really bland, and can get annoying, and sometimes things look didgital! the bosses are ok, exept, you never battle mr dark, the main bad guy. don't waste your m oney, and buy this game. buy r3. much better.

5-0 out of 5 stars Rayman for the GBA
Rayman Advance is exactly like the first one for the Playstation. The only thing different is that it has 10 fewer levels than the original, but it's no big deal, this game still has 60 levels. I must say that Rayman is one of the most colorful games I've ever seen. It also has the old school side-scrolling platform-type gameplay. This game will probably never get old to me, there is always something new to discover. This is one of the reasons why you should own a GBA.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great graphics just one minor flaw
I beat this on ps1 an decided it would be awsome to have portable an i couldnt think it could be done but it has! Sure it looks childish but it is HARD! its my most favorite rayman game (series wise not console wise) an worth checkin out.

PROS.
-Best graphics ive seen on the gba yet (even in 2004 an i own 15 gba games!)

-Nice backgrounds! it gives you the mood of gameplay

-Incredible gameplay features over 60 levels

CONS.

-The music is pretty bad (not the tunes but how the tunes sound) cuz its pretty dark an rough that sorta takes out fun in gameplay also, some tunes are different in game areas from PS version that should have bean left alone (the intro an boss tune was acceptable but i MISS that tune when u beat a boss!) thankfully, this was the biggest concern, nothin else really.

4-0 out of 5 stars Despite it's age, still a fine platform game!
Despite the age of this games' original version on PlayStation this is still a very entertaining platform game. Of course it has some significant issues which I will now talk about.

This game, first of all, is not easy. There are many places during the course of the game where you may get frustrated with the difficulty of the level. It's not that it's hard to figure out what to do to finish the level, it's that it's difficult accomplishing what is obviously necessary to advance through the level. While the levels can be tough to get through, practice and memorizing will get you through eventually.

A second problem is the fact that extra lives are very difficult to come across, and once you get them, finish the level, and then save, there is no getting them back. This forces the player to gather 100 Tings in order to get extra lives if you can't locate the actual extra lives. Another problem is the fact that I don't think there is any way to get continues back after you have used them.

This game is also pretty short. While it very attractive visually, this means that there was less room available to make lots of levels (at least that is my own theory). This is not like Super Mario World where there are more than fifty (if memory serves) levels in the game. While, short, it is still challenging enough to require a considerable amount of time to complete.

All in all, this is a very good game to buy if you're into platform games. Even if you have it PlayStation, it is worth getting a portable version. Despite it problems, this is still a game that should be in every GBA collection. ... Read more

My son got this game at Christmas last year and loves playing it.He probably plays that game and his Finding Nemo game the most out of all the games he has.I think any boy 6yrs and up would enjoy this game!

1-0 out of 5 stars How doze this game get such good ratings???
This game is awful! Why, do you ask?

-It's really dark, making it hard to play
-The controls are bad, you need to press a button just to change the dirrection you are facing!
-It's boring! You fly around, shoot what tries to shoot you, and wonder where to go.
-Pluss the whole idea of "butt ugly martans" is ....

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Fun GBA Game
Why does Amazon call this game Butt Ugly Martians Battles??? The name of the game is B.K.M. Battles!! BKM stands for something that only kids who watch the TV show on Nick know about, so watch the show to find out what BKM stands for!!! Anyway, the game is cool--great graphics, lots of different worlds, tons of weapons that get better and better the more pickups you find, and challenging bosses. The levels are HUGE in this game so you need to use the mapping function or you will get totally lost! There is also a bunch of hidden rooms too--while you're blasting away at a bunch of aliens within one of the worlds, all the sudden big parts of the rocks crumble away and your in some secret room with tons of treasure! Schweet. And this isn't in just 1 or 2 places, every level seems to have at least a few (I personally have found over 20 secret rooms and I'm not even halfway through the game yet!)So get this game--it's fun, it's challenging, it's great for kids and it lets you fight bad guys in BKM!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Fun Game, Huge Levels, Cool Weapons-- Its a Winner
I (actually my dad) just bought the new Butt-Ugly Martians game for the Game Boy Advance and I am very HAPPY with this game! I know that some people think the Butt-Ugly Martians is a little childish, but the GBA game is really challenging and fun-- I think it is better than any of the other GBA games that have come out lately, and it's DEFINITELY better than the other Nick games like Jimmy Neutron and Rocket Power. So even if your not crazy about Butt-Ugly Martians TV show, you should give the GBA game a chance because the game itself is well done and a blast to play.

There are 7-8 different worlds in this game, and each world is so big you HAVE to use the map function or you will totally get lost. Each world has 4 levels so that makes a LOT of levels in this game. I love that there are a bunch of secret rooms too. You start blasting at one of the enemies and all of the sudden a bunch of the screen breaks away and you find a secret room with different powerups and treasures too! This doesn't just happen once or twice, it happens alot.

You choose to play as a Butt-Ugly Martian because each guy (there are 3) has different strengths and special weapons that help you thru the game. You have to choose carefully because if you blow it and the martian your playing gets zapped, you can only choose from the remaining martians to continue playing. So you have to plan to use the fastest martian for certain parts of the game, and the martian with the blow-em-away gun for the tough bosses, etc. It is a BLAST!!

Speaking of blast, this is where the BUM GBA game really blows away other GBA games I have played. Each martian has firepowers that gets better and better the more pickups you find. Most games for kids are pretty lame when it comes to weapons, but not this game! You get lasers and bombs and a bunch of other surprises that you will like. I played this game everyday for the last week since I got it and I am not even close to finishing it yet.

There's one more thing I want to mention because it is pretty cool. You are playing as a martian and your trying to blast all the other aliens that are trying to take over Earth, see? But there's this other guy named Stoat or Stoad Muldoon (I think this is right) and he's an alien hunter and he's trying to bag YOU. So sometimes your the hunter and sometimes your the prey and it gets CRAZY! I found myself getting really freaked out during parts of this game and that felt pretty fun!

5-0 out of 5 stars finally, a Gameboy Advance game that ROCKS!
This BUM game is totally fun. It is the best game with Nickelodeon characters that I have played and I have played them all-- it's much better than Jimmy Neutron. There's more levels, more bosses, more strategy (because you have to go thru the levels using each of the martians and there special powers in different places). If your going to get a new gameboy adVance game, make it this one! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars A must for Stoogies only
I'm a Knucklehead/Stoogie, so I bought the game.I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else though.It gets boring REAL Fast, and the mini games that you have to play are pretty easy.Of course, this is a re-issue of an old game.If you liked the old game, you're sure to like this.But if you're not after nostalgia for that old game, or a die hard knucklehead, you should SOITENLY skip it.

1-0 out of 5 stars Very disapointing and not fun.
I bought this a year or so ago at Costco because I love the Three Stooges (and I'm female!) and I love cartoons (John K creator of Ren & Stimpy is a huge fan of the Stooges as well) and I needed some more games for my fairly new GBA. It isn't fun. You have to play several different mini games a bunch of times, and they are very difficult and not even fun, hardly even mildly entertaining. You have to raise $5000 in a month for the orphans, I was lucky if I ever got up to $500 after a frustrating 20 minutes till the game was already over. I'll be trading mine in at Gamestop next week.

4-0 out of 5 stars Another CinemaWare Re-release
This is another game from the old CinemaWare collection that was originally for the Amiga, Apple IIgs, PC, etc. I originally played the PC and Apple versions.

This GBA cartridge is an exact port of that old game. You play the part of Moe, Larry, and Curly as they try to raise money to save an orphange. Money is earned by playing a series of mini-games.

For the most part, the game play is as easy as the older versions except for the oyster eating contest. That part is much easier with a mouse than a control pad, but I still played it decently on my GBA.

I love seeing these older games re-released for new systems. The cartridge should hold up much better than my diskettes. Plus, you don't have to worry about system requirements. I don't know what the market for these retro games is like, but I'd like to see more old computer games released like this one. Most of my old favorites would need a keyboard so a GBA version would be unlikely (like the old Sierra Space Quest, King's Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry series), but it might be possible for a console.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Three Stooges
I loved the game on the original Nintendo and also like the GBA version. Now I don't have to keep hooking up my original Nintendo player to play the game!Don't miss out on this one!

5-0 out of 5 stars Soitenly Is A Lot Of Fun!
The Three Stooges have always been my favorite comedy team.So when I heard that they were coming out with a new Three Stooges Game Boy Advance game, I was thrilled! So I bought the game, and believe me, I was so happy that I got this game!This game features many of my favorite things that I see while watching the Stooges.There is the oyster contest, which is seen in the short "Dutiful But Dumb".There is also the boxing match, where Larry breaks his violin while trying to play "Pop Goes The Weasel", and he has run to the radio store to get a radio playing Curly's fighting song before the six rounds of boxing are up.There is also pie fighting, hospital chasing, and many more things to do.I recommend this to people who love the Three Stooges and who also love playing video games.This is the best! ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Half-and-half
It's okay, but I didn't go nuts about it.You have to be in the right mood to be willing to play this. It gets pretty boring after a while. And I ALWAYS turn off the unbeliveably annoying music; I just can't stand digital music. And if you want to go back to the main menu when you're in the middle of a level, you have to turn your entire GameBoy off and then on again. The basic moves are a little boring; Jump, Walk, Duck and Crawl. No white-nuckled shooting at bad guys. In fact, you are helpless; you have to avoid all the enemies instead of defeating them.

Good game to get if you don't have anything to do most of the day.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good and Bad
This game is good and bad, fun and flawed, good and not good, so I would have given it a 2.5 but because of some good areas I gave it a three as instead of a two.I think some areas are fun, but some are just downright annoying.So I think you should only get it if you are crazy about Stuart Little.Other than those people I would only recomend if you rented first, because some may end up liking it, but not most people.

3-0 out of 5 stars Best for younger gamers
This game is not for older or experienced gamers.

It is a fine game but the play is somewhat repetative and not so engaging for the grown-up gamer.I expect that younger games would have a good time with this though.

That said the graphics are fine as is the sound. The levels and scenes are laid out so that there is plenty of variety which is always a good thing.

One thing to note is that on some levels the the doorways are hard to see.They look more like someone shining a light in the shape of a door on the wall instead of a real door itself.Once you get used to this, though, it is very clear where the doors are. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars One of the most misunderstood GBA Games.
I love Jimmy Neutron, but this game isn't that bad, it's just misunderstood.The game isn't as fun as the other Jimmy Neutron games, simply because of one problem.Everytime Jimmy gets hit by an enemy, he respawns to a spot before he encountered the enemy.With practice at avoiding unnessary enemies, this game can actually become a bit fun.Multiplayer's a blast, and only needs one copy of the game.While it may not be Jimmy Neutron at his best, it's still worth looking at if your a Neutron fan or looking for a good multiplayer.

1-0 out of 5 stars Master and Commander
kinda sucks! Negatron orwhatever is a stupid invention. Don't buy it as it is wasting good money! I recommend medal of Honor for pissed off guys. My point is......... Don't buy Jimmy Neutron games.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Challenge!
This game is perfect for kids who complete video games too quickly. It is the perfect challenge. Lots of action, graphics, and sounds.

1-0 out of 5 stars Junk, junk junk, junk, junk, junk, junk, junk!
It is rare that I run into a product simply SO bad, that I would rather use the disk for a drink coaster.But this is it.Horrble graphics, SLOW response.Tried it on three different machines with the same problems.A waste of money if I ever spent in on my kid.I could not wait to put this review up to save someone else the agony of dealing with this garbage...

4-0 out of 5 stars Too Hard for kids, hard even for adults
Man my little brothe bought this, He could hardry walk. I tryed to play it. It was really... horrible. You press the jump button you wait one or 2 second and then the guy jumps. The controls are horrible!!! But I gotta say that the graphics ate really good! I wold prefer wach some one play the game than play it.

Thats why I will give just 1 star for this game. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Because it's easy for Disney to rest on the considerable appeal of theircharacters, their video games are often not up to snuff. Happily, Peter Pan:Return to Never Land is one of the better third-party games released for theGBA. It doesn't bring much new to the tried-and-true platform game genre, but itdoes well with crisp, bright graphics, smart level design, and a pleasingsoundtrack from the movie's catchy original songs.

Though this game is basedon a sequel, most gamers will immediately recognize the first couple of levelsfrom the classic 1953 film. Thegame starts with a visit to now-grown-up Wendy's house to take her kids on theirown adventure to Never Land. Once there, Tinker Bell is kidnapped, so you've gotto rescue her and all of the Lost Boys spread throughout levels in the game. Ason any other platformer, you must run, jump, and dispatch baddies (Peter doesthis with his trusty dagger, which he can also throw) to get to where you'regoing, but here you can also fly--provided you have Tink and enough pixie dustby your side. The power-ups and secret items are plentiful and pretty easy tofind, which seems to be the right difficulty approach, given the youngeraudience of this game. Older kids and adults may want to play the game at theharder difficulty setting in the options menu. There are also clips of the moviethat can be unlocked by finding hidden film reels, but these are short andrather bland.

The downside of this title is still very common among portable games: no batterysave feature. Rather than saving your progress through the game, players aregiven jumbled strings of letters to mark their completion of the end of a level.It's not a dealbreaker, but it means players will need pen and paper handy ifthey want to continue. And there's no way to save midlevel. --Porter B.Hall

Pros:

  • Crisp, bright graphics
  • Flying is easy and fun
  • Good level design
Cons:
  • No battery save
  • Too short and easy for experienced gamers

2-0 out of 5 stars BAD and GOOD
This game is something that u don't want to spend too much time on. The Graphics are really good, but the game play just didn't appeal.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed
I was very impressed with Disney's Peter Pan Return to Neverland for gameboy advance. The graphics were really beautiful, the colors bright, and the music and words were clear and enjoyable. Unlike some of the other games put together featuring Disney movies, you can see that a great deal of effort was put into making this game. I found the it to be very engrossing. Once I began playing I could not put it down and also the passwords are short and easy to remember. The only downfall of this game is that it's not very long. However it is something that you would want to play again and again. All in all the one word that describes Disney's Peter Pan Return to Neverland is Fun.

This game is awesome.Not only is it fun, but I was also able to unlock mini-movies from the real film!Peter Pan fly's really well and is fun to play! ... Read more

An evil force has taken over a distant star system and only you can stop it. You will soar through waves of enemy attacks, battling with photon missiles, laser beams, and other weapons (14 in all). All the elements that made the previous Gradius games popular are back, with all-new levels and a dramatically enlarged scale of your foes (bosses can now fill the entire screen). For novice players, there is a new beginner mode and three levels of difficulty so that everyone will be able to enjoy the game. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A perfect choice for shooter fans.
This game has everything that makes Gradius games good, and a little bit more:

Visuals: 4/5
First off, the graphics are top notch, with great looking backgrounds, and some nice looking enemies. Everything has a good amount of detail to it, and the game even looks good when blown up on a big screen, when using the GC adapter.The only complaint about the graphics is that the game is really dark, but if you are using the Advance SP, or if you have a good lighting addition to your GBA (and there are hundreds out now, so you should), it's not a problem at all.

Sound: 3/5

Nothing spectacular here. Better sound effects than III or IV, but not by much. Instead of going "BOP" when a baddy gets shot, it makes a small crush sound. The lazer shots don't quite sound as annoying either, but the music score is a little annoying sometimes.

Gameplay: 4/5

Everything you'd expect from a Gradius game, except for one thing: In previous Gradius games, if you pumped the difficulty up as high as it would go, and you died in the middle of a stage and lost all your power-ups, it was extremely difficult to come back.That does not hold true for this game.You can continue from just about any part of the game and make a comeback fairly well, as the designers usually place a significant amount of powerups at each respawn portion of the game.The only time that the game is next to impossible without powerups is when you've beaten the game several times through, and are playing on a high loop setting.

Extra: 4/5

It's great that you can continue from any respawn point that you have reached on any difficulty setting! This allows for gamers to pick up, play for a few minuettes, and when they die, put it away so that they can play later at almost the spot they died. I also like the hint section, even though it doesn't do any good if you are playing on anything higher than normal difficulty.

The reason I gave 4/5 for extra, is because in previous Gradius games, the player could customize the ship more. In this one they have a bunch of presets that are fairly well balanced out.

Overall 4/5

It's a great game for gamers that are new to shooters and shooter fans alike.The lower difficulty settings, good respawn points, and hint modes, make the game pretty eassy for beginners. The ability to continue from spots after looping through the game allows for advanced shooter gamers to play at extremely difficult settings. I'd call this game a must have for GBA owners, unless you're really not interested in intense gameplay.

3-0 out of 5 stars Two old memories come back for a visit.
One is the Gradius game and the other is arm cramps.That's right children, this game hurts.There's no such thing as Turbo or Rapid fire here.One press of the button makes one shot.You wanna shoot another, press the button again.This leads to some very inventive cradling of the GBA system.I found it best to keep it on my lap, lift my right hand completely off the GBA, and start whacking away at the fire button.With all the enemies that show on the screen, in the later levels, you'll have to pause he game just to catch your breath....literally.
But is it fun you say?Well, Yes and No.If you have fond memories of this game, from your youth, then you'll enjoy shooting a ton of enemies one more time.But once you find out that there's 6 stages, or more, for the 13 or so levels in the game, you really don't feel like playing anymore.It's a good game, but it's not That good.
Do yourself a favor, play this with the Game Shark enhancer.It'll save you from Carple tunnel.

2-0 out of 5 stars An insult to Gradius
The older Gradius games were great back in the day, but this GBA version bothered me so much I had to return it.The graphics are below average for GBA standards, but what really frustrated me was the gameplay.

Gradius gives lots of cool and customizable options, but your ship's starting speed is so slow you can't even avoid being hit by enemies with 2-3 seconds to react!Once you can get a speed power up things balance out, but seriously the game is complete frustration trying to dodge slow moving enemies with a sluggish ship and still not being able to do so.

Avoid this game unless you are a Gradius freak and need to re-live the old days.

3-0 out of 5 stars THE OK AND GOOD GAME
My brother got this game and at first hated it. Then he finally started to like it a little more each day until he really liked it. The gameplay is very basic,a space invaders kind of game with boses. The graphics are good. My brother would give this 5 stars, but I think this game is kind of boring.

4-0 out of 5 stars a good game
this is a pretty good game. the graphics areso-sobut gameplay is good and swift. you can switch which type of ship you want, each with different powerups. you can only take one hit before you are destroyed, which [stinks] but then you can get one of two types of shield, forward(10 hits) or surround shields(3 hits). both protect you from anything but crashing. graphics are super, and the controls are simple and changable,surprise surprise. all in all, a great game. ...

Amazon.com Review

With all the blame that video games get for contributing to society'sills, it's comforting to know that parents have a paragon of good citizenshiplessons in LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge. This adventure game,which is aimed squarely at the younger set, bolsters reading and problem-solvingskills while teaching the benefits of being involved with and rebuilding acommunity.

The malcontent Brickster has escaped the confines of the last game (playersneedn't have played the first installment to play this one), and has taken thisisland town apart brick by brick. To add to the confusion, he's unleashed anassortment of crazy--though mostly harmless--robots to get in the player's way.The game's protagonist is a pizza delivery boy named Pepper, and for some reasonit's his job to find the scattered pages necessary to rebuild the town'sfeatures. He finds these pages by interacting with the townsfolk and followingtheir cues on which tasks to perform and in what order. The diversionary tasksare made up of quick, fun minigames--including an early takeoff on Whack-a-Mole.

It's tough to compete with the more action-oriented games for this platform, butLEGO Island 2 does a good job. One problem we found is that the game isjust too easy for older kids, while the amount of dialogue one must read fromthe game's various characters might intimidate younger kids. Of course, parentscan share the game with their kids and help them through the tough parts.--Porter B. Hall

Pros:

  • A wholesome, nonviolent game for younger kids
  • Indirectly teaches valuable skills and good citizenship
Cons:
  • Too easy for experienced adventure game players
  • Restrictive order in which tasks must be completed

1-0 out of 5 stars BORING!
The title says everything. DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 5

2-0 out of 5 stars Good citizenship, bland graphics, good for kids.
I was excited about this game, because I thought this game would allow you to build Lego models, cars and buildings, I could not be more wrong! This is a role-playing game, where you are Pepper, a Lego kid on Lego Island. Basically the point of the game is to walk around the island talking to the Lego people who send you on tasks and give you various things for your work. Such things as items, Lego pieces and trading cards, which hold no importance, its just a picture of a Lego character. Also, you can discover mini games, like a Lego skate park, Joust and a few classic arcade games that are fun. For the older more cynical gamers, avoid this game, but if you are a parent that wants a game that inadvertently teaches your child about good citizenship and being kind to others, pick this up. The graphics are not the best, but they are good considering that this is a game with Legos.

5-0 out of 5 stars THE BEST GAME!!!
There are soooooo many things you can do in this game. Play mini games, walk around the island (which is wicked big-three times the size of the first verion, or you can cruise around on your skateboard or in a car. I am 14 and i thought this game would be easy, but it takes some skill. You hafta do a lot of things in order to get something. It's a great game and it's fun to just walk around the island or go to the skatepark. This game is the best and i can't put it down!

2-0 out of 5 stars Kids Only Game
The Plus point about this game is the amount of sub-games it has. Some of them are boring, but most of them are interesting. The plot of the game can get very boring. Basically you are this lego fellow, whom is trying to recover all the pages of the various building in Legoland that are being destroyed by the bad guy. This bad guy fellow constantly pop up during the game to give you useless remarks. some of the pages require the player to complete certain tasks before u can lay your hands on it. I would say this game is more for kids, whom might find it interesting. Personally I find the game a turn off. completed it twice within one day of buying. Check out what other reviewers have to say about this before buying it. Don't think this game is worth buying

From your description of the problem, it sounds as though you are not referring to the GameBoy Advance version, but rather the PC one.

2-0 out of 5 stars GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
As the other gamers expressed in thier reviews, this game is a big disappointment. Like Loekitty did, I had purchased the game because I was "enthused about the idea of playing a classic Shinobi game on my GBA".
It was in deed diffucult to figure out how to come down the stairs, but it didn't take me long to figure it out. I was expecting the game to be like the genesis version, but of course it was nothing like it. I was able to get pass the fact of the poor graphics and animation.
It was the repitition of similar levels and difficult game controls that upset me to wher I didn't want to play it anymore. Every level has very similar backgrounds. I went through about 7 levels and it was always mountains in the background with the same houses, or all rock behind I was underground.
It took me forever to learn how to do the double jump. I have to be exactly at the peak of a jump before hitting the jump button again - you can't be the slightest higher or lower. It took me over an hour before I could get in sync with it. And even then it messed up sometimes.
As for the codes who ever thought up the design is a sure enough idiot!! You have to change like 12 different character blocks for entering the code. Why did they have to make it so difficult? It would take me a least a minute or two to flip through each character block to enter the complete combination code.
Bottom line don't get the game unless you like monotonous, difficult games!!

1-0 out of 5 stars worst game ever!
i did not buy the game but i was going to but then my friend had the game so i borrowed it. it is very hard and the staris are very hard to get down. don't waste your money i am glad i bought another game, the other game i bought is called Need For Speed Underground(great game).

1-0 out of 5 stars Terrible
I got this game for Christmas, so don't blame me for wasting money. The graphics or basic and bland, animation is limited and sloppy, and controls are very awkward. The music is limited to a soundtrack of less than 10 songs, none of which are impressive in the least. The story is horrendous as well; it seems like a bad dub of a kung-fu movie. This game brought no fun, only frustration.

2-0 out of 5 stars Impress
Traditional Gamer - See " Golden Sun" for more information. This was a hell of a lot better than "Altered Beast". The game controls were some waht difficult, but I got thru it OK. If I had to rate this game it would have been 2 and one half stars.

1-0 out of 5 stars the worst game i've ever played
i bought the Revenge of Shinobi blindly because i was too enthused about the idea of playing a classic Shinobi game on my GBA to stop and think that it might [be bad]. reading the instructions booklet that came with the game kept my sense of hope alive, and after throwing the cartridge in my GBA (and, of course, turning it on) my enthusiam was still strong. the game looks alright, and appears to have a big map so you won't breeze through it in an hour.

that, however, is all the praise i can give it.

the controls of this game are probably the worst i've ever encountered. i got stuck at one point because i couldn't get down the stairs. i got up the stairs fine to go into an upstairs area fine, but i had no idea how to get down. i spent twenty minutes trying to get down the stairs before i gave up in frustration. pressing down didn't work, going to the stairs and pressing down and in the direction of the stairs didn't work. i tried many, many combinations of buttons to get down the stairs and found out that none of them worked.

i considered stopping my adventures in Revenge of Shinobi after the aforementioned stairs incident. i turned the GBA off, but then decided not to let the game beat me. i finally figured out how to get down the stairs, but it just got worse. the password system instead of a battery save is horrible, and doesn't seem to work half the time (ie: sometimes the password i received to get back to a particular level worked, sometimes it told me the password was invalid). the levels are tedious--you just walk through them and slash, slash, slash away with your katana.

in the end, the game won the battle and i stopped playing after beating the first two bosses. i felt cheated and angry that such a classic could be turned into such a horrible abomination.

unless you have a severe masochist streak, i would stay far, far away from this game. it will reduce you into a frustrated, crying lump on the floor and remove any good memories you may have had about the Shinobi series. i think that this is the worst game i have ever played. ... Read more

Book Description

Shrek: Hassle at the Castle, a third-person action-adventure, is based on the plot of the Academy Award-winning major motion picture. As in the film, Shrek must try to regain his Home Sweet Swamp, which has been overrun by fairy-tale characters. Shrek’s adventures soon lead him to Duloc, the Lost Forest, and even to the dragon’s castle to save Princess Fiona.

Through the game’s seven levels, gamers will be able to play as the ogre hero Shrek, his lovable sidekick Donkey, or the beautiful Princess Fiona in over 20 stages of gameplay. Shrek takes on the fairy-tale characters with ogre fighting moves, while Donkey uses his four-legged attack to help along the way. Princess Fiona gets in on the action by showing off her kung fu fighting skills.

Developed by Japanese developer Tose, the title also offers a multiplayer mode, giving gamers the chance to compete with up to four friends via a Game Boy Advance Game Link cable. Each player can select from Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, or Lord Farquaad as they go head-to-head trying to capture the most coins in each level. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Hassle but Quality Game
This game has great graphics and challeging Levels. Note that the other reviews talk about the difficulty of Level 3, and until I realized Shrek could run, it was hard for me as well.After learning that I got passed it on the second try. There is a Level that you need to escape from the castle/dragon and THAT was very hard. Having some challenges makes for a good game to me. Overall, if you know how to move the players, Shrek is a very fun and challenging game. Wouldn't recommend for younger kids however, possibly a little too difficult.

2-0 out of 5 stars Hard and Boring
Oh my gosh, this game is awful!! The first couple of levels are okay but after that the game is almost impossible, unless I'm missing something, this game is not very well explained, there seems to be no way at all to get past Level 3-1, ugh, I haven't even picked this game up in a couple months for fear of becoming extremely frustrated again. Not only that but the character controls are very slow and frustrating. The only good part are the graphics. Don't buy this!!

1-0 out of 5 stars This game is violent
I recently bought this game for my 7 year old daughter.What a diappointing game!This game is rated for Everyone.I thought since she loved the movie, the game would be fun.However, it is just a combat game with violence included.Shrek has to fight and kill his way through the maze.My husband who normally plays combat games did not find it interesting.I suggest you play before you buy.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Frustrating Game....
This game starts out just fine, it's actually a little easy on the first two levels. Two things to mention.... The information booklet that comes with this game neglects to mention how to activate/use the fairy dust. It only explains what the fairy dust does. After many frustrating attempts at trying to use the fairy dust icon to complete level two, I finally called product support. The help desk told me the intructions for this feature were not included in the game info booklet. Secondly, I was informed that level three was difficult to clear, and he (the product support guy) changed the game difficulty to 'easy' to get past it. I STILL haven't gotten past it! I purchased this game for my nine year old. Now I know why she has lost interest in the game. It is too frustrating and time consuming to get past certain levels. The rest of the game may be a lot of fun, like the beginning. However, it will take a lot of patience to find out. (And THAT's not something a lot of kids (or me!) has!)

1-0 out of 5 stars Witty character dialogue isn't the only joke here
Here's an example of what happens when too much effort is put into witty character dialogue and not enough is put into making a fun game.Effort was also put into the graphics.Between making everything look good and inserting humorous dialogue at every turn, the designers of this game apparently forgot to give us decent game-play.

Pitfall Harry is on yet another expedition with a professor friend and a lady he has the hots for.The plane crashes, the survivors are scattered about the Amazon jungle, and Harry has to find them while collecting treasure, slaying scorpions, and battling numerous tribal bad guys.

The game starts out promising, with a nice-looking side-scroller level.The graphics here are sharp.Everything looks great.Harry is very well animated, as are the scorpions and other creatures he encounters during his travels.The backgrounds are impressive, sporting some great detail.When Harry slays the nearby scorpion with his slingshot, a ghost of the creature rises from its corpse.This is a typical platforming level.Slay the scorpions and other creatures, jump up and grab ledges, find a treasure or two...It looks great and plays fine.

But this was just a gimmick to draw us in, for this game is more than just platforming.Soon we are hang gliding, tobogganing down a mud slide, mountain climbing, jumping on logs in a swamp Frogger style, and doing other things that turn out to be incredibly annoying.This game follows a linear motif across several different worlds.Each world starts out with a thrill-seeking level (hang gliding, tobogganing, etc), then a top-down level, then two side-scroller levels, then a boss.

The only thrill-seeking level I actually enjoyed was the hang gliding.It's sort of like a top-down shooter.A stupid one.But it was fun.Harry hang glides and tosses rocks at tribesmen and birds who are coming after him.The rest of these levels are a bothersome chore to get through.Harry toboggans down a mud slide while avoiding harmful obstacles.He climbs an ice cliff while avoiding suicidal penguins and falling ice cycles.He rides an inner tube down rapids.The Frogger style one is the worst offender.He jumps around on a pogo stick, jumping on logs, lilly pads, and crocodiles.Let's set aside how stupid this is.It's not fun at all.You have to stay ahead of the constantly moving screen while doing all of this.If you get pushed off screen, you lose and have to start over at the beginning.Rather idiotic.

Then we're in an overhead view scene where Harry has to explore, find treasures, and rescue two adventurers (all of whom have broken legs).I didn't mind these parts as much.The jungle scene was pretty nice, sporting some great looking scenery.Piranhas inhabit streams that Harry has to get across.Scorpions, tribesmen, and rock-tossing monkeys all stand in our hero's way, but usually you can just run past them.The later levels feature geysers, flame spouts, and other hazards.

Then we're off to side-scroller land, traversing two platformer levels.The goal here is just to make it to the end and collect a few treasures along the way.There are vines to swing on, crocodiles to jump over, obstacles to avoid, and prevalent tribesmen and creatures.Finally, Harry squares off with a boss, all of which are pretty difficult.Good thing our hero has unlimited lives.The designers seem to want us to play this game all the way through, but they make the journey a difficult and rather annoying one.It doesn't help that the level designs aren't all that interesting to begin with.The bosses aren't all that interesting either.I don't mind being challenged as long as it's worth my while.The payoff here is conspicuously absent.

As mentioned, witty character dialogue is littered throughout the game.Harry has a dry sense of humor.He engages in dialogue with the professor and the girl he has the hots for (both of which have broken legs), he talks to various lost adventurers who all look the same (these guys also have broken legs), he meets a talking jaguar who annoys him, and he makes fun of the tribal bosses before each encounter.There's more witty dialogue here than there is interesting game-play.

Visually, the game looks awesome.Backgrounds during the side-scroller levels all have sharp detail.Harry and his opponents are very well animated.I especially like the scorpions.They did a great job on them.The top-down levels don't look too bad either.Harry leaves footprints in the snow as he traverses a snow-covered mountain (nice touch!).As mentioned, I liked the jungle scene with streams and lakes.I didn't notice the graphics much during the thrill-seeker levels because they were mostly such a chore to get through.

The sound department is a mixed bag.Effects are good.Music ranges from tolerable to quite awful.Some levels have ambient jungle sounds in the background (another nice touch).

But none of this matters because the game is just not fun.I don't care how good it looks.The platforming parts are annoying to work through, the top-down parts are lackluster, and those thrill-seeking parts are just gawd-awful.Perhaps they should've spent less time thinking up witty dialogue and more time working on decent level designs.Whatever potential this game had for greatness was lost in the sheer variety of poorly constructed challenges that Pitfall Harry has to overcome.

4-0 out of 5 stars a good game for the gba
I played the game on the pc, the gameboy color and now saw it on the gba. So i picked it up hoping it to be as good as the pc version since i did not like the gameboy color version. All i have to say are positive things for this game. If you like arcade scrollers u'll like this one... ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars HOW EXCITING!!!COULD YOU JUST ADD A LITTLE MORE TO IT PLEASE
Your game is good and wonderful. I'm just wondering why the songs of the game were so cute, shouldn't it also have a little action music? And why didn't the aliens spoke to each other in any evil sentences, couldn't they talk? Did one of the twonkies already knew that if he follows Jimmy to the earth, he could listen to the music so that he can become a monster, so he and the other twonkies could finally take over the world("Was it the idea")? And why did the game had an unhappy ending when Jimmy got all the aliens back on Twonkus 3 before it left, but one of them was still missing in Retroville? It was so far very interesting. Seeing the cool inventions Jimmy invented during the game, like the shrink ray, the jetpack, etc. This game is almost like Ghostbusters, where Jimmy sucks up the aliens in a vacuum thing, which he like to call the VDR, just like the ghostbusters who use their laserguns to blast ghosts, than suck them up in a electro box thingy. This game odd to be fun to you all. ... Read more
